22. Three days later Laban learned that Jacob had run away.
23. So Laban gathered his relatives and began to chase Jacob. After seven days Laban found him in the mountains of Gilead.
24. That night God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream. The Lord said, “Be careful! Do not say anything to Jacob, good or bad.”
25. So Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had made his camp in the mountains. So Laban and his relatives set up their camp in the mountains of Gilead.
26. Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? Why did you trick me? You took my daughters as if you had captured them in a war.
27. Why did you run away without telling me? Why did you trick me? Why didn’t you tell me? Then I could send you away with joy and singing. There would be the music of tambourines and harps.
28. You did not even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters good-bye. You were very foolish to do this!
